Chapter 497 It’s good to get sick occasionally

Li Luo hasn't been seriously ill to this extent for a long time.

Although it was just a simple fever, a high fever of 39 degrees was not low.

Since Li Luo was reborn, nearly two years have passed, and Li Luo has basically never been sick.

At most, you'll catch a cold or sneeze when the seasons change.

It has been a long time since I have experienced a fever like this one that made my head feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

but……

It’s not quite the same as in the previous life.

Li Luo's head was propped up by two pillows at this time, making it easier for him to eat.

But his hands were firmly pressed into the quilt by Yan Zhusheng, so he didn't have to move.

On the other side, Xu Youyu held the bowl in his hand and placed it next to Ying Chanxi. Ying Chanxi then held the spoon in one hand and supported it with the other hand. He carefully blew on the boiling hot porridge to cool it down before handing it to Li Luo's mouth.

After swallowing the warm porridge, Li Luo looked at the three girls beside him, his mind still a little dazed.

He vaguely remembered that when he was in his early thirties in his previous life, Xu Youyu's investment in his short play failed, so he started working alone to earn money, and he would transfer money to Xu Youyu every month to repay his debts.

Although compared to the 80 investment, the monthly repayment of a few thousand is really a drop in the bucket, and I don’t know when I can pay it back.

But that was all the effort Li Luo could make with his insignificant self-esteem at the time.

He vaguely remembered that he had been sick several times during this period, but a simple fever like this was relatively safe.

Sometimes, I didn’t want to make my parents worry too much, so I went to the hospital alone and managed to make it through.

Lying on the bed, in the dim room, with the pale ceiling, alone, having accomplished nothing, my mind was burning as if I would only see a dead body on this bed tomorrow.

The memory palace gave him a clear impression of these things, as if he could smell the odor of decay in the room.

But when recalling memories of past lives, the memory palace has a bad problem and requires Li Luo to mobilize his own brain power and energy.

As a result, this recollection made his already dizzy mind even more uncomfortable.

So much so that after he finished drinking the white porridge, his mind became completely dizzy. He waved his hands a little uncomfortably and lay down again.

Seeing how miserable he looked, Ying Chanxi and the others didn't say anything more.

After packing up his things, he quietly left Li Luo's room, letting him have a good rest.

……

Maybe the antipyretic medicine played a little role.

Or maybe drinking porridge replenishes your energy.

Anyway, after sleeping for a few more hours, when Li Luo woke up in the early morning, he finally felt better.

At least my head doesn’t hurt anymore and I feel much more alert.

But his body is still a little hot and it seems he is not fully recovered yet.

Li Luo swallowed his saliva, but it still felt a little dry, so he turned his gaze to the bedside table to see if there was any water to drink.

As a result, with the sound of turning his head, a figure who was resting at the desk in the dim room raised his upper body and asked with concern, "Are you awake?"

Li Luo naturally recognized Xu Youyu's voice instantly.

Not to mention the silhouette under the moonlight, the huge shadow in front of the desk is also outlined with a full contour by the moonlight, making it really difficult to distinguish.

"Just woke up."

"You want some water?" Seeing him move, Xu Youyu quickly got up and walked to the bedside, pressing his outstretched hand back.

Leaning over Li Luo's head, Xu Youyu picked up the pillow next to him.

Li Luo could only watch as a faint fragrance passed through his nose, and the tip of his nose seemed to touch some elastic fabric.

However, the feeling was fleeting, so Xu Youyu picked up the pillow and used his other hand to gently lift Li Luo's head to help him pillow it.

Then he picked up the kettle on the bedside table, poured a cup of hot water for Li Luo, carefully handed it to Li Luo's mouth, and fed him the water.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu in a daze.

"You, you drink." Xu Youyu blushed a little when he looked at her, then laughed again, "Why are you staring at me? Are you touched?"

"I was infected by you, but I'm not moved." Li Luo retracted his gaze and recalled some things from his previous life, feeling a lot of emotions.

"Humph." Xu Youyu put the water cup to his lips, "So I'm here to keep watch for you. I'll wait for you to wake up and take care of you."

"Where are Xixi and Zhusheng?"

"I asked them to go to bed," Xu Youyu said. "It was almost one in the morning, and they waited in the living room until the early morning. I saw that they couldn't stand it any longer, so I didn't let them stay any longer."

"Hmm..." Li Luo finished drinking the hot water in the cup. After his throat felt much better, he said, "Then you should go to sleep too. I can be alone."

"What's the hurry?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not sleepy."

As he said this, Xu Youyu picked up the thermometer on the desk, shook it twice, and then stuffed it into Li Luo's armpit: "Take the temperature again to see if it's better."

Li Luo let her do whatever she wanted.

"Are you hungry?"

"good."

"Then I'll go cut some fruit for you."

After saying that, Xu Youyu got up and walked out of the bedroom. After a while, he came back with a small plate of cut apples and oranges.

Li Luo didn't have to do it himself. Xu Youyu sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and fed Li Luo the fruit on the plate bit by bit.

When it came to the last few pieces, Xu Youyu saw that Li Luo seemed to have recovered quite well, so he rolled his eyes, picked up a piece of apple slice, bit it directly with his mouth, and lowered his head.

"What are you doing?" Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu biting the apple slice in his mouth with a smile and asked helplessly.

"Hmm~" Xu Youyu couldn't speak at this time, but he hummed twice, raised his chin to signal, blinked his eyes charmingly, and handed the apple slice to Li Luo's mouth.

What followed was Xu Youyu's head of smooth black hair cascading down.

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, even though Li Luo was having a fever, he couldn't help but feel excited.

All I can say is that it is a feast for the eyes, and this word is just right.

Taking the apple slice from Xu Youyu's little mouth, Li Luo chewed and swallowed it, feeling that it was sweeter than what he had just eaten.

"I told you before that if you have a fever, I will take good care of you." Xu Youyu picked up another apple slice and blinked at him. "Have I done what I have done now?"

"Is this taking care of me?" Li Luo sighed, "If you continue to take care of me like this, my health will deteriorate."

"I didn't do anything." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, then leaned over, took a bite of the apple slice, and put it to his mouth.

As a result, this time, after Xu Youyu finished feeding Li Luo mouth-to-mouth, he suddenly laughed while lying on Li Luo.

Li Luo: “…”

He was biting an apple slice in his mouth and couldn't speak, but he could clearly feel Xu Youyu's knee touching the forbidden area.

The next second, Xu Youyu's hand teased her through the quilt.

"Do you really have a fever?" Xu Youyu blinked, with a look of curiosity and suspicion, "Are you pretending?"

Having said this, Xu Youyu picked up the thermometer and looked at the temperature on it.

38.2 degrees. It has subsided a lot.

I estimate it will be fine in a day or two.

But now I still have a fever.

"Fever has nothing to do with this." Li Luo's face darkened, but he still explained, "But could you please stop teasing me at this time?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Xu Youyu chuckled twice and glanced at Li Luo's quilt. "Are you okay like this? Will your fever get worse because you are too irritated?"

"...What do you want to say?"

"Do you need help?"

"..."

"Hmm? You're not going to talk anymore?" Xu Youyu smiled ambiguously, but still didn't extend his hand. "You're sick, so don't think about it."

Li Luo: "...why don't you just go to bed and stop staying here?"

"I told you I couldn't sleep." Xu Youyu said, "You came to my room to drink last night and didn't fall asleep until about two in the morning. I slept for a long time during the day, and I'm still here now."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After saying that, Xu Youyu stood up, walked into the bathroom of the master bedroom, and poured a basin of warm water for Li Luo.

Then she took out Li Luo's towel, soaked it in water and wrung it dry, then went back to the bedside and wiped Li Luo's face and hands.

Li Luo had just slept all night and when he woke up, he couldn't fall asleep again for a short time.

The two of them had nothing to do, so they started chatting.

However, Li Luo was still running a fever, so Xu Youyu was the one talking most of the time.

"'Art Age' has been completed, and the average subscription is 16,000, all thanks to you." Xu Youyu had already climbed onto the bed from the other side, leaning against the headboard, and shared with Li Luo, "Readers gave a lot of long reviews, and I feel that what they wrote is quite interesting."

"What about mine?" Li Luo pointed at himself.

"Huh, you saw it. Didn't I pin it to the top for you?" Xu Youyu hummed, but the expression on his face couldn't hide his happiness.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, Xu Youyu released the last chapter, and then struck while the iron was hot and wrote the closing remarks.

After that, Li Luo came to her room with some cocktail ingredients.

When she looked at the comment section after getting a good night's sleep during the day, she discovered that Li Luo had used the Chongran account to write a long article congratulating the author and giving a comprehensive review of the story.

It can be said that it completely describes Li Luo's various impressions after reading the book.

In this book of more than 2.5 million words, "The Age of Literature and Art", there are some plots that even Xu Youyu himself had to recall for a while before he could remember some of the wonderful passages.

But Li Luo was able to quote small details from the plot throughout such a long article to support his point of view.

After reading Li Luo's long review, it was as if I had quickly reread "The Age of Literature and Art", which resonated with many readers in the comment section.

It even helped many readers who had been reading the book for a long time but forgot the previous plot and didn't want to continue reading it, to make them prepare to read the book again.

Now, only one day has passed since the completion of "Literary Age", and its average subscription has increased by more than 500, which shows that there is still potential to be explored after the completion of the book.

"After the book is finished, I estimate that your book will have an average subscription of over 20,000 in a short time." Li Luo said with a smile, "If you write another book in the second half of the year and the performance remains the same, you will be invited to join the great book industry by the end of the year."

"It's not as easy as you say." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, but felt a little expectant in his heart.

"An 18-year-old female idol in the male channel under Wenyue Group. Wow." Li Luo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

To be honest, in my previous life, although "Literary Age" successfully reached 10,000 subscriptions, it was just an ordinary level of 10,000 subscriptions. After it was finished, it was difficult to accumulate an average of 20,000 subscriptions in a short period of time.

Xu Youyu’s subsequent new book "Gu Dao Chang Qing" also performed very well, but it was just a little bit short of the title of a great writer.

It wasn't until a period entertainment novel broke through the upper limit of her score that she finally got what she wanted.

At that time, she had already graduated from college.

Although Xu Youyu was considered young at that age for a great author, he was certainly not as shocking as he is now at the age of 18.

However, Xu Youyu looked at Li Luo's confident expression, but she herself was not very sure.

After all, she still has some self-awareness.

This book, "Literary Age", after all, still follows the style of plagiarism and inherently carries a certain "fan fiction" nature.

However, the subject she had discussed with Li Luo before, which Li Luo called "Spiritual Revival", was a field she had never touched before.

I haven't even seen this statement in other books.

This made her a little unsure about the performance of her next book, and she was far less confident than Li Luo.

“What if I don’t get the top prize this year?” Xu Youyu looked at Li Luo and said with a smile, “A new book may not achieve the same good results as “Literary Age”.”

“I’m not sure if you have any great players, but I think I’ll be platinum this year,” Li Luo said shamelessly.

Xu Youyu gritted his teeth and said, "...I really want to hit you. If it weren't for the fact that you are a patient, I would have already slapped you."

But what Li Luo said was not wrong.

When the copyright of "Little Joy" was officially sold, combined with the huge profits of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", Li Luo's contract as a platinum writer was almost a done deal.

1200 million for film and television copyrights can be considered a relatively low price considering the period when copyrights were very popular in the past few years.

But at this point in time, it is very good.

In particular, Li Luo's "Little Joy" is a short realistic novel of 800,000 words.

For Wenyue Group, in addition to copyright income, there is also the issue of influence.

It is said that all online novels follow the same routine of happy writing, so why not take a look at "Little Joy"?

In fact, online novels can also have this kind of realistic novels.

This is what Wenyue Group wants to express to the outside world.

It is not clear whether it is effective or not, but there must be such a statement.

Li Luo's book "Little Joy" just happened to hit the trend of the first realistic essay contest.

Coupled with Ying Zhicheng's wonderful assist, Li Luo laid a solid foundation for the Platinum Hall.

Originally it only relied on the subscription performance of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" and lacked the ability in terms of copyright, but now it has been supplemented in this area.

This officially allowed Li Luo to have a smooth journey towards platinum.

The two chatted a lot in the early morning.

Because Li Luo slept for a long time at night, he didn't feel very sleepy until around three in the morning.

But Xu Youyu was already a little impatient, and while they were chatting, Li Luo suddenly realized that there was no sound next to him.

Turning around, I saw that Xu Youyu had fallen asleep peacefully, and looked like he was sleeping very soundly.

"You said you would take care of me." Li Luo laughed, covered Xu Youyu with the quilt, lay down again and sighed.

Let's keep the days like this a little longer.

It would be better if you didn't get sick.

Li Luo thought so in his heart, and recalled the scene of being taken care of by three girls after he fell ill today, and silently withdrew the above words.

Well... it's actually not bad to get a little sick occasionally.

Just think of it as training your immune system.
